Does anyone else find the patch freezes when updating about 170 or so, then jumps to the end and says it's fully installed? It doesn't appear to have affected the update, and previous ones have behaved the same. I just want to know if people experience the same on a regular basis.

- passing is awful , all passing go on the back of the player , the player has to turn for the ball , no matter if you play direct or short pass
- the players are crossing like they didn`t eat for the last week ,no power in crosses, this patch can`t make the difference between drill and float
- marking players is from another world ... man or zonal , it doesn`t matter - it`s a joke
- pace and acceleration doesn`t matter if it`s under 15-16 , they`re running like they`re 80yo

and many many more

Can anyone else give any feedback on this? I'll give mine once i've done half a season or so with Chelsea...they better not have raped Torres' stats.

I have 2.2 m€ per annum from wage budget and 4.7 m€ from transfer budget.

Do you have any players joining the club in the future? If so their future wage has already been calculated.
Also the chairman can limit the maximum amount you spend per player so not to wreck the clubs wage structure

Has anybody else had the problem that when you watch the game in 3D view, the game freezes for 10-15 seconds but the players legs keep on moving without actually going anywhere? then just as sudden as the action stops, it will start again, almost as if it was thinking what to do next?

Does the new patch adjust the transfer system for 11.2 saved games. so far i hav loaded my save tried to sell my best players and still no transfer offers. these are some of the best players in the game so they should have takers.

will i hav to start a new game to get the transfer system moving for me, im in 2031 so id rather not hav to

Yes not every game but i have had it a couple of times. Presumably somthing to do with the processing? Overall has very little effect just rather wierd watching them run at a standstill.

I see.
And yes the club had arranged a future transfer before me but i don't know how much they offer to him and like you said chairman would be suspicious about this case.
Anyway thanks for the help and your efforts.

Staff Contract negotiations are extremely hard to negotiate
lots of bookings and red cards, With high Discipline staff and Stand off more and more cautious tackling
Injury's - was bad before the update, is worse now

Yes, the new patch will apply the fixes to your current save game, although you may have to continue to the next transfer window for the changes to take full effect

- passing is awful , all passing go on the back of the player , the player has to turn for the ball , no matter if you play direct or short pass
***I disagree with this, my passing has been good, though it varies dpending on who I am playing and their tactics re pressing etc

- the players are crossing like they didn`t eat for the last week ,no power in crosses, this patch can`t make the difference between drill and float
***Again I have not noticed this - will double check

- marking players is from another world ... man or zonal , it doesn`t matter - it`s a joke
***My team marking is not an issue and again it depends on opponents and what tactics I am using

- pace and acceleration doesn`t matter if it`s under 15-16 , they`re running like they`re 80yo
***I noticed that in 3D they can look sluggish, though I have had opposition players running at a fast pace (also your match speed might be on slow setting )

and many many more

***This I do not believe - what does many ,many more mean?

My responses have been marked with ***

Also since the ME has been tweaked this would impact on your performance. Whilst it does not cover some of your points I have not experienced what you have therefore cannot agree that the patch is awful.

My first match with the new ME, against Arsenal away: 0-0, zero clear cut chances for either team, no one-on-ones. Too early to make any proper judgements of course, but this kind of statline was basically not even possible in 11.2. The defenders seem concious about staying between the man and the goal, tackling seems to work. I'm really optimistic about this patch right now.

When you started a new game how far down did you go re the leagues. That has a effect on how low your reputation can go as far as I recall! If you select down to Blue North etc then you can start as a sunday league footballer unless things have changed or I missed something.

I've had no troubles selling players in neither 11.2 nor in 11.3. I've sold players up to 6 times their value.
Make sure the player is Important or key. Set the value to 6 times his value. There must still be a lot of interested clubs. Then offer the player for the set value. If you're lucky a club or two might bid what you want for the player.
Most often when i sell a player for 5-6 times his value I'm not offering him out. Just set his value high and at some point a needy club with lots of money step in and bid.
I've found out this work because I was tired of clubs constantly bidding low for my very good, but low valued players. I'm managing a club in the Danish Superleague (this season I've sold players for close to 50M euro). So I reckon this won't work if you try to sell a Messi kind of player. But maybe you can get two times his value.

Thats happened with me on every patch. Just thought it was my PC. Doesent really affect my game though.

Is this issue (http://community.sigames.com/showthr...-player-morale) fixed now in 11.3?? Could not find it on the changelist. Maybe SI comment on this. Or maybe some of u guys still experienced it in 11.3???
I have to w8 untill the we to play the game....lot to do this week -_-

No more set-pieces reset bug, more interest for my players (I got Major Interest from 5+ clubs for two of my lesser players right after i placed them on the transfer list, without offering to clubs which i usualy had to do previously to get interest for that kindof players)

I approve so far.

One question though: Can you pick whatever feeder club you want (Without the board compiling a list for you) after this patch like you could in previous versions?

Dougie Freedman is in the reserves at Crystal Palace and his position is a goalkeeper. Words fail me.

I aint seeing that on my version of 11.3.

You need the boards full confidence before they will let you do that, same as all previous versions.

My confidence has been untouchable this season (Currently on my 6th)

Yet when i asked for a feeder club and said i wanted to get involved in choosing one, they came back to me with a list, just the same as earlier in my career when i hadnt been manager long enough to choose that option.

I've played two matches with the new patch and I'm really liking the ME. There are still a few problems but overall there's a big improvement. I like the fact that we're no longer retreating to the 18 yard line before we start to defend Defending is much improved as is closing down; I scored from a corner that wasn't at the far post and I've also had lots of realistic goalmouth action with clearances off the line, last ditch tackles, etc as a result of corners

I've noticed one instance of a defender turning his back inexplicably, a couple of times where the CM has failed to pick the ball up in midfield because it "got stuck", I'm still not happy with the defending from throw-ins and I've also noticed a few occasions where the ball has been "run out of play" instead of being crossed/run checked/etc

Just about to embark on what I hope is an unbroken 10 match period to my next save point

This patch is fine. There's a few people complaining but when you read the official responses 90%+ are remedied and the others are mainly user errors or even some folk not quite grasping all the changes.

So overall it's a big thumbs up with very little to complain about, in my opinion

- passing is awful , all passing go on the back of the player , the player has to turn for the ball , no matter if you play direct or short pass
- the players are crossing like they didn`t eat for the last week ,no power in crosses, this patch can`t make the difference between drill and float

A strange quirk i noticed when starting a new game, looking to see what players had been upgraded i went to the europe screen to see the best players and no messi on the list of the top 5 players in europe? very strange

so in general 11.3 is awesome!fixed just about everything!!!but(and that maybe just me)i´m having heaps of injuries during matches although in the end they tend to be "small" injuries but it gets annoying to finish 4 matches in a row with 9 due to injuries!!any feedback would be greatly appreciated!thanks!

Response:

Well I have been playing since yesterday and most of today and not seen that amount of injuries. I have had some injuries and some ingame injuries that the players run off but apart from those few injuries re 3/4 days long and one longish term injury nothing untoward.

I have checked the injury table and again nothing stands out there of any signifigance.

Not sure if this is even an issue, but i remember in the last patch that there were not any games on boxing day in the prem quite a few times. I never had one match then and it gave me something like a 7 day advantage. Is this fixed or is it just not an issue really?

A petty little observation re ME - it appears that theres' an awful lot of balls that curve when the players shoot at goal - not an issue as such but the swerves are quite remarkable in some instances.

Could be the players practice swerve/curling shots much more these days!

I noticed that as well, one of my players curved a shot just over the bar from the edge of the 'D' which went just over the bar then curved so much it ended up hitting the corner flag!!

I realise an awful lot of people will be very happy with this but I'm pretty disappointed that your ability to land bigger jobs seems to have swung wildly the other way.
Started as unemployed with Automatic reputation and took Barnet job in league 2. Holidayed a lot to see how longer term things pan out and avoided relegation by 1 point. Before the season ended I was already being touted for the Liverpool job and by November of season 2 Portsmouth (who got back to the prem at end of season 1) approached me unsolicited . I wasn't even doing well in season 2 and was in 15th when they came in. So I have done 1 season at the base of league 2 and have jumped straight to premiership standard.

Don't know if this is because reputation was automatic (I thought i had set it to semi pro but must have made a mistake) but it still seems wildly unrealistic for journeyman players like myself. Just checked and my win percentage in league 2 was 20%.

Started a new save with Liverpool and have played til December, and now I'm wondering why all of my star players are constantly 'left out again' from their national team duties. There've been four international breaks and the likes of Reina, Agger, Skrtel, Kyrgiakos, Johnson, Puolsen, Lucas, Gerrard, Meireles, Maxi, Jovanovic and Kuyt are yet to be called up for their national team. People may have different opinions about the standard of Liverpool players but I'd think at least half of them are IRL important first team players in international games. Only Suarez and Wilson have been called up. I haven't withdrawn anyone, none of them had any serious injuries and most of them are playing at least semi-regularly. Seems a bit unrealistic to me.

Other people have been saying they still find it quite difficult to get higher rep jobs, it sounds like you've just been lucky

I don't know whether it's actually an issue yet, but I've had rather a lot of injuries, more than normal in my Liverpool game so far, though I'm only a few competitive matches in. I've had Gerrard, Agger, Wilson, Suarez, Carroll, Johnson all out for at least a month and I'm not past September yet. Could just be bad luck though, so I'll keep playing and report back. I realise a few of those players are injury prone though.

Fair enough Gudge. I assumed I'd be in a minority. Thanks for the reply

Just as an aside I'm obviously doing something wrong. Just tried restarting the game a couple of times and choosing random teams in league 2 or league 1 making sure I select semi pro. When the game starts and I check my manager profile the past experience is always Automatic and the manager reputation is always National. Could you think what i'm doing wrong. National rep may explain why I'm getting touted for jobs from the off. Thanks in advance

Good patch. Match engine seems improved on a number of levels. A couple of problems I've encountered - first, when you loan someone out the option "Ask such and such to scout this player" doesn't seem to work. You have to go into the player's profile to do it there. Second, when I have a player on loan and they get an injury with an option of treatment or leaving it be, I cannot select either, and the player is, so far, in some kind of stasis, continually injured and continually awaiting treatment for injury.

EDIT: scrap that second part. His parent club dealt with the injury, just took a few days to show up in his profile.

But the likes of Agger, Skrtel and Gerrard should always be called up when fit. Their international status is 'withdrawn from international squad' even though I've not withdrawn them and it shouldn't be even possible when talking about the qualifying games for Euro championships.

Came across a little problem. Playing as Millwall (in the championship) and tried to get Jordan Spence (of premiership team West Ham) and they came back saying they didn't want him to go on loan to a divisional rival?
Not a rival team, but divisional rival.

I think they're just preparing for next year. JK Irons fans!

I've been trying to sell Rosicky at £10 million and Napoli always keeps offering £10 million, and while I'm thrilled I'm actually getting bids in this patch, they apparently can't free up the cost, so it's always turned down and it's getting really annoying now.

Hi, maybe it´s just no luck, but this is a network game (dude - Werder Bremen; me Borussia Dortmund)
Many of the injuries our players have are from games with national squad, during two weeks.
Could it be a bug?

Honestly just strikes me as incredibly bad luck. Keep an eye out for your next international window, but we've certainly never encountered this internally. Thanks.

There was a change made to this area of the game to help unemployed managers get a job. People have already commented that this change has worked for them and they are now getting offered job. If you were to increase your past experience then that would increase your chances of getting a job.

Cheers for the reply Gudge. Was aware that increasing experience up would increase possibility of getting a job due to reputation system. I'll go with working as designed then and that Sunday League may take a season and more to find work at an amateur or semi-pro level.

I wonder if someone can confirm if the new patch deals with players (especially strikers) missing really easy chances? I've checked the change list but i didn't see anything mentioned about. I'm really depending on the new patch fixing this coz if this is not fixed there is no point playing the game to be honest!!!

Has anybody else had the problem that when you watch the game in 3D view, the game freezes for 10-15 seconds but the players legs keep on moving without actually going anywhere? then just as sudden as the action stops, it will start again, almost as if it was thinking what to do next?

Yes, I get this every few matches. I've had it with all patches (FM11). Hoped that would be fixed by now

You have to chose a team in a lower division to make semi-pro and sunday league footballer active. You won´t see many former semi-pro footballer starting their managing career in one of the top-divisions.

What amount of injuries are people getting? First competitive game had 4 red crosses and had to use 3 subs getting the injured players off and then play a man down. Two out for 4-5 weeks, one for 6-7 and the other is fine but has low condition and is very tired in his status. A continuance of my appalling luck or a common thread?

I've been trying to move to the Premiership or La Liga from the SPL for a couple of seasons now. I've won 7 in a row and had three trebles. I've also reached the QF of the Champions league twice. Would I have to start a new game in order to have more chance of a higher reputation job or can I continue my present game and expect a job offer based on the update?

Hello
I downloaded the patch to a flash drive on internet an connected laptop then copied it my hard disk of my main pc I double clicked on the patch to start the update program. It starts but I get the following message
I have placed a screenshot of the error on you ftp siteftp://ftp.sigames.com/fm/game-screenshots/Farhans's 11.30 install error.jpg
Appears what do you suggest the problem is.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours
Farhan

Started a new game to check out database changes etc.. anyway, after checking out some teams and players before choosing a team for my manager i chose "Save game.." because i was going to return to my main save, but wanted to have a "quick start" for 11.3 available for later.

Loading my old save now takes me back to the start screen of the aforementioned loaded 11.3 db-game... totally heartbroken and gutted. Combating serious wristslitting-thoughts atm

Is this a known bug? i am one hundred percent sure pressed "Save game" and not "save game as..."
